“Getting involved in goals is what the attacking players want.”

“Everyone likes winners and when the younger fans look at other countries, they like to see a team that is winning like Man City and Liverpool.”

“I'm the worst at lifting in the gym.”

“Cristiano was my idol - I saw him playing at the highest level at Manchester United, winning the Ballon d'Or and other awards. Being Portuguese, I've always looked up to him as an example to follow.”

“During my childhood in Portugal, I would always go to my grandfather Alberto's house to watch the Premier League games - I was supporting the small teams trying to beat the big teams, no matter who.”

“I was always very small, especially at the beginning when I between 10 and 14.”

“Liverpool play offensive football, which gives me more chances to score. It's up to me to take advantage of that.”

“I think football without fans is strange.”

“I think football is unpredictable, and these are the things we like in this football game. Things can change very quick.”

“Everyone wants to support, like me as a kid, the small teams because they can trust they are going to give their best against the big team.”

“I like to play 'Football Manager.' And I like to start in lower teams.”

“I remember when I was maybe around six years old, my dad signed me up for swimming. I'd ask him, crying, whether I could switch to play football instead because it was on at the same time.”

“You can clearly see the difference between United with and without Bruno Fernandes.”

“We are professionals and, if the boss chooses eleven players to enter the field, these are the ones who have to work.”

“We want to play football... in the best league in the world, so the city doesn't matter.”

“The hard thing is not to reach the top of the mountain but to stay there. That phrase makes a lot of sense, certainly to me. It is the hardest bit because you always have people who want to reach there for the first time. You can never let them have more will than you.”

“The Champions League is a knockout competition, I think anything can happen, and obviously much of our attention is focused there and the possibility of going far in the event.”

“Everyone dreams of England, and the Premier League.”

“I loved to watch Everton play, especially when they were playing at home. It was not a club that fought for the title but that always made life very complicated for the big teams.”

“The Championship is one of the hardest competitions, there are many games, but being kicked helped me to grow up as a player.”
